H.R. 6057: Criminal Alien Removal Clarification Act of 2025

The Criminal Alien Removal Clarification Act of 2025 aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by expanding the grounds for deportation of non-American citizens (aliens) who are legally in the U.S. Under this bill, any alien who has been convicted of a felony or two separate misdemeanors would be considered deportable from the United States. The key provisions of the bill include the following:

Key Provisions

Expanded Deportation Criteria: The bill specifies that any non-citizen convicted of a felony, or two misdemeanors, at any time after their admission to the U.S. is subject to deportation. This applies regardless of whether these offenses were committed under state or federal law.
Clarity in Enforcement: By clearly defining the criteria for deportability, the bill aims to provide law enforcement and immigration authorities with clearer guidelines on how to proceed with deportation cases involving criminal convictions.
Broader Impact: The legislation could affect a range of non-citizens, including both lawful permanent residents (Green Card holders) and individuals with other legal statuses who might have run-ins with the law.

Overall, this bill intends to streamline the deportation process for non-citizens who have felony convictions or multiple misdemeanors, making it easier for authorities to enforce immigration laws related to criminal activity.
